India searching for pretext for false flag operation: Pakistani PM

ISLAMABAD, May 7, 2020, Pakistan Today. Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday warned the world about India’s continuing efforts to find a pretext for a false flag operation against Pakistan. In a tweet, the prime minister rejected the baseless allegations by India of “infiltration” across the Line of Control (LoC), saying it is a continuation of India’s dangerous agenda of a false flag operation targeting Pakistan, Pakistan Today reported.

“I have been warning the world about India’s continuing efforts to find a pretext for a false flag operation targeting Pakistan,” he stated.

Imran said the indigenous Kashmiri resistance against Indian occupation is a direct consequence of India’s oppression and brutalisation against Kashmiris. “The fascist policies of the RSS-BJP combine are fraught with serious risks,” he stressed.

He urged upon the international community to “must act before India’s reckless moves jeopardise peace and security in South Asia”.

The prime minister’s statement comes days after a flurry of allegations from Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen MM Naravane claiming the presence of so-called “terrorist launch-pads” in Azad Kashmir and infiltration bids.

In an interview with a local media outlet on May 4, Gen Narvane had claimed that Pakistan is still following its “myopic” and “limited” agenda of “pushing terrorists” into occupied Jammu and Kashmir, saying that India will “respond appropriately with precision” unless the neighboring country “gives up its policy of state-sponsored terrorism”.

Meanwhile, National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif also joined the premier to rebuke India’s allegations.

“Jingoism is written all over Modi’s DNA. Despite fight against Covid-19, incessant violations of LoC by Indian army have become a norm with 940 such incidents recorded this year alone,” he said in a tweet.

“Allegation of ‘terror launching pads’ by India is meant to whip up propaganda against Pakistan!,” he added.

Earlier on Saturday, Pakistan had asked the United Nations to seek proof from India about the alleged “terror launch pads” near the LoC and offered full cooperation with the UN military observers for probing the accusations.

“Pakistan formally offers the United Nations to approach India for obtaining information of alleged launch pads and share the same with UNMOGIP, who will be welcomed to move into any area without sharing specifics with the Pakistan government to validate Indian claims,” the Foreign Office had said in a statement.
